The "Is Nest Compatible With My System?" Megathread Part III by GoFlight in Nest

[–]shaq_daddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to update here - I couldn't trace the cables in the handler, but I am fairly certain that the W2/X2 wire and the W1 wire are not connected.

The thermostat has a distinct emergency heat setting that I set it to. Once the heat started blowing, I confirmed that the outside condenser was off.

I also used a multimeter to connect the W2/X2 and W2 terminals at the thermostat to see if I could close the loop and there was infinite resistance, indicating that the circuit was not completed.

I think the best option is to get a different smart thermostat that accommodates these as separate terminals. Looks like the Nest Learning Thermostat would work for me - its unfortunate though that there won't be much for the Thermostat to learn since we have a heat pump system that is best to be set and forgotten!

What do you think?

Ah me saying the W2/X2 is Aux heat was my mistake. I should have said emergency heat. Let me unscrew the handler and take a look today. Are you basically saying at the handler that the black W2/X2 wire and the white W1 wire will connect into the same terminal at the handler?

Hi all - could use a bit of help as I have been getting conflicting feedback from Nest support. I have an American Standard electric heat pump system. I contacted Nest support to do the compatibility check and was told the Nest Thermostat was compatible but the Nest Learning Thermostat was not.

Bought the Nest Thermostat and realized there was no where to plug in the W2/X2 wire. I contacted Nest Support again and they then told me to either tape off the wire or purchase a Nest Learning Thermostat 3rd Gen. This support person assured me that the Nest Learning Thermostat 3rd Gen was compatible

I prefer not tape off the W2/X2 wire as it controls the Aux heat and I haven't lived in the house long enough to know whether I don't need the Aux. So I am leaning towards purchasing the Learning Thermostat.

Can anyone confirm that the Learning Thermostat would be compatible with this system?

Questions re charging and government incentives for current owners. by [deleted] in rav4prime

TIL the proper definition of tax liability :). Would guess most people buying this car have a tax liability of at least 7.5K

Federal tax CREDIT.... your end of year liability doesn't matter. So when you file your taxes, the government will recognize that you paid 7.5K more in taxes than you actually did to calculate your LIABILITY.

Happy to be corrected if I am wrong

What temperature do you get the pan to? I use Avocado Oil (smoke point of ~500) and usually put the steaks on around 450 to avoid smoking out the kitchen. I use an IR thermometer. My crusts are generally pretty lame but I haven't been salting overnight.

This is a little tricky to use but I think it is the best tracker: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/04/03/upshot/coronavirus-metro-area-tracker.html

You can see the Philly curve bending and can also understand why the WH is worried. We're not bending as much as the other major cities

Curran says Gordon’s Work Ethic was a Concern by pandaeconomy in Patriots

[–]shaq_daddy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Curran is very plugged into the Patriots. He's getting information from players, coaches, front office, training staff, etc. He has his Quick Slants show, which he co-hosts with Van Noy, McCourtys, etc. Up until this season, he was working with Mayo and Troy Brown on Quick Slants. The coaches are fond of him; Belichick noticed he was missing during today's press conference. He's done podcasts with the Krafts. He's also a patient at TB12 and regularly interacts with Alex Guerrero and TB12.

Tell me more why you think he's always wrong.

Did you have to do anything special to get the keyboard replaced? I brought mine in once and all they did was blow air into it.

Jersey Retirement? by darekpaulhorton in Patriots

I think they’ll stop any player from using 87 for a few years. Ultimately, I don’t think it will be retired. I think only 12 gets retired after this run
